Twitchers from around Britain descended on a tiny island to get a rare glimpse of a lost American bird. It is just the fourth recorded instance of a Blackburnian warbler being spotted in the UK.
The young male is thought is thought to have been blown off course over the Atlantic as it migrated from North to South America. It ended up on Bryher, one of the smallest inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly.
The sighting brought hundreds of birding enthusiasts to the island. The twitchers stood for hours to watch the bird, wading through water to get what are the most detailed images taken of a Blackburnian warbler in the UK.
